Vietnam is currently in the process of renovating the general educational curriculum, shifting from a content-based to a competency-based approach, with mathematical creativity as one of the core competencies. This paper aims to determine the correlations of perception, emotion, and behavior in sustainable development of mathematical creativity for primary school students in Vietnam. Analysis of 5th graders’ survey results in different regions in Vietnam (N = 903) shows that perception and emotion are highly correlated with the p-value Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.000 (<0.01); emotion and behavior are also correlated positively with the p-value Sig. (2-tailed) < 0.01, while perception and behavior also have a positive correlation with the p-value Sig. < 0.01. From the analysis, there are positive correlations of perception, emotion, and behavior, in which the role of emotion has the strongest effect on the process of teaching mathematical creativity for Vietnamese primary school students. At the same time, the analysis results show that there is no vast difference between students’ perception, emotion, and behavior amongst the urban, plain, and mountainous areas in Vietnam. The paper affirms the necessity to discover and strengthen students’ mathematical creativity from the primary school levels to equip human resources with essential competencies to face future obstacles in achieving sustainable development.   Received: 19 October 2021 / Accepted: 7 December 2021 / Published: 3 January 2022

Technology and mathematics are two things that are interconnected and influence. Technology, such as computer games, can be used to describe abstract mathematical concepts so that they are more easily understood by students. Unfortunately, technology also has some undesirable impacts, such as causing students difficulties in developing their creativity to understand mathematical concepts. On the other hand, spatial ability gets less attention than educators when students are studying mathematics. This paper will discuss how teachers can help students develop their mathematical creativity and spatial ability.

The Sustainable Development

Despite considerable discussion on the benefits of digital educational games, empirical research on their effectiveness in primary schools in China is limited. This case study aimed to promote the sustainable development of digital educational games in primary schools in China by examining the effect of digital educational games on primary school students’ vocabulary acquisition and ascertaining their perceptions and attitudes toward this approach. Given the purposes of this study, an embedded mixed methods research design was employed. Two Grade 4 classes at a Chinese primary school were recruited in this study. During the quasi-experiment, the experimental class (n = 50) was provided with educational game software, Quizlet, while the control class (n = 50) was taught through a traditional teaching method. The results show that integrating educational games into language education in the primary schools was effective in improving students’ vocabulary acquisition. This study makes a case for further research of digital educational games in language classrooms at a primary level in China. Implications are made regarding the future sustainable implementation of digital educational games in primary schools in China.

Background: Pediculosis capitis or head lice infestation is one of the most critical public health problems, primarily involving primary school children. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of Pediculus capitis contamination among primary school students in the villages of Varzaqan city, East Azerbaijan province, Iran, in 2020. Methods: Overall, 400 primary school students aged 7 - 12 were selected through convenience sampling. First, a demographic checklist was filled out for each participant, and then hair examination was carried out individually and privately to detect head lice or eggs/nits. The data analysis was performed using descriptive (frequency and percentage) and analytical methods, including chi-square and t-tests (SPSS, version 16). A P-value of less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: Of 400 students, 41 (10.3%) were infested with P. capitis. The prevalence rate significantly differed between boys (6.2%) and girls (14.8%). There was a significant association between pediculosis and mother’s education, father’s job, family income, history of infestation, number of combs per day, and frequency of hair washing per week. Conclusions: According to the prevalence of head lice in primary school children, we need to increase the awareness and train children, parents, and teachers through further cross-sectoral cooperation between education and health centers. Also, the presence of a hygiene teacher at school to improve the health status of students can significantly reduce the prevalence of pediculosis.

This research focuses on intelligence quotient (IQ) of the primary school students in Mahasarakham Province. There are 5,053 subjects from 64 schools under the Mahasarakham Primary Education Office. Stratified Random Sampling is applied in selecting the subjects. The subjects are divided according to their districts and school sizes (Small, Medium-Sized, and Large) with three units: schools, classrooms, and students. The results are shown in both “Descriptive Statistics” to describe demographic factors and “Inferential Statistics” to compare the cognitive levels among the elementary school students from different demographic factors. The results of the study indicate that the IQ of the primary school students in Mahasarakham Province is at the normal level. Most of them, 3,358 students or 66.46%, have the average level of IQ. 148 students or 2.93% have the higher-than-average level while 68 students or 1.35% had the lower-than-average level. After considering the IQ of the students on an individual basis in the designated educational area, there are different factors contributing to the results including the sizes of the school, the parents’ education level, and the parents’ average monthly incomes (F = 2.521, P-value = 0.040). The level of intelligence is not only the result of genetics and environment, but also the result of many internal and external factors. The study shows that the level of intelligence among the elementary school students in Mahasarakham is at the average level with different basic information and factors such as individuals, families, and schools. Therefore, all related sectors to educational development should realize the importance of promoting the students’ intelligence in order to reach the students’ full potential.

Abstract Background: Unequivocally; malaria becomes major health problems among school children. Evidences of coordinated school engaged social and behavior change communication (SBCC) strategy is required to curb the disease; thus keeping momuntem to malaria eliemination. This study examined effectiveness of schools engaged SBCC approach on use of insecticide treated nets (ITNs) among primary school students in malaria endemic settings of Ethiopia.Methods: The school-community engaged SBCC intervention involving various educational and capacity building activities was implemented from Oct.2016 to Sept.2018 in 75 rural schools of Jimma to promote malaria preventive practices both at schools and community levels. A quasi-experimental evaluation design was employed enrolling 798 randomly sampled primary school students (399 interventions and 399 controls). Data were collected using structured questionnaires by interveirwers and analyzed using SPSS 26 Amoss software. Propensity score matching (PSM) technique was applied to create approparite matching. Chi-square and general linear model was conducted to estimate the average effects of the intervention for dichotomous and continous outcomes respectively.Finally; multivariable logistic regression modelling was done to indentify predictors of ITN use. P-value < 5% was considered for statistical significance. Results: Effects of the interventions were observed on all measured psychographic dimensions with self-efficacy (β =25.87, 95% CI: 22.77-28.97) and perception of malaria threat (β =6.38, 95% CI: 4.08-8.68) showing highest and lowest effects respectively. Importantly; a difference of 39% (95% CI: 32.18-45.91) was observed with respect to ITN use between intervention and control groups. Multivarible logistic regression showed access to one and more ITN per two family members was associated to ITN use (AOR=1.76, 95% CI: 1.01-3.07). Similarily; unit increase in self-efficacy (β=0.101, 95% CI: 1.22-2.32), multidimesional knowledge (β=0.04, 95% CI: 1.01-1.06) and family support (β=0.04, 95% CI: 1.02-1.06) improve use of ITN by 10%, 4%, and 4% respectively.Conclusion: This study suggested that SBCC impelemetation that draw on combination of various interpersonal communication and stakeholders’ engagement approaches were effective promoting sustained malaria preventive behaviours in school going children. Indeed; it’s important to account for message contents and communication methods targeted to influence knowledge, risk perceptions and behavioral skills combined with family supports, access to ITNs and beyond
